I was named after this turtle.

I'm not kidding.

[MuppetPro]

Good Ol' Marty Robinson. I see him every year in Waterford CT at the CT Puppetry Conferense. He wants me to perform for the conferense this year.

[ashie20]

reminds me of Speed from The Swan Princess! I miss the good ole days!

[ShinRyojin]

Such a great moment, i love everything about this: the lesson, the song, and most of all Shelly. I remember seeing this when i was little and to this day i get emotional up watching this!

[trinidangerpuppy]

As a kid I always felt sorry for Shelly!......poor thing!

Love you Shelly!!!

Sesame Street rocks!

[ShippoTheFoxKid1983]

Puppies travel at a run I suppose a run is fun Me I'm kinda slow But I get there Bunnies hop along so fast Hopping fast I couldn't last Me I take my time But I get there I get there I think about so many things While others hurry by Like why the sun Feels nice and warm,And why the clouds are in the sky,While squirrels and the chipmunks race I enjoy my turtle pace,Me I'm never late But I get there,And I think it's great When I get there

[Nightmastercool97]

great song it teaches patience and persaverience.

[oogly37boo]

The style of the music kind of reminded me of James Taylor.

[isaiahangelo]

I was gonna say that too

[rachaelluckyseven]

I think the song was inspired by "Fire and Rain"

[lizzykat2]

Cool

[prowlus]

"ninja kick that damn rabbit"!

[Foozhow]

[LEACOOKIE]

[DC41288]

[KMelKang]

Priceless! I put this vid on myspace cause I lost my Russian tortoise when he ran away. I don't know where he is either....

[asweet1906]

LOVE IT!!!!

[bearcattony]

What is this song a spin-off of?

[ssetta]

I think it's a spin-off of the song "Southern Cross" by Crosby Stills & Nash, but I'm not sure.

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

ahhhhh this song reminds me so much of a much more deeper time of Sesame Street.

[Nightmastercool97]

yes back then Seseme street focused more on tolerence, acceptance, differences of peoples, attitudes, ideas, thoughts, opinions, and more deep witch is why i remember the good old days the most.

[laermaidh]

I have to agree with you.

[rudiments37]

thank you for find this i relly miss you shelly and this one jhon dnver songs

[PinkChocolat07]

Boy Shelley's friends are impatient.

[Daffyfan2006]

Wow! That's kind of an unusual Marty Robinson voice since a lot of his characters sound more like Snuffy or Telly. It was good to see that turtle again.

[DRUMMERMAN77]

def not richard but sounds closer to carroll spinney now i think of it

[mattmelchiori]

Do you know why Shelley's not on Sesame Street anymore?

[DRUMMERMAN77]

he will be because he gets there just slowly

[DRUMMERMAN77]

martin p robinson is singing as the turtle?

[sawing14s]

Yes, that's Marty.

[bgbassman]

Actually the puppeteer/voice of Shelley was Peter Linz, who was on the show from about 1989 to 1993. He went on to play other puppets such as Skye (The Puzzle Place) Theo (Between the Lions) and Tutter (Bear in the Big Blue House)

[glowworm2]

Shelley is adorable! Such a beautiful song-very country like

[Deanmo19]

Thanks, by the way, what is that cartoon shown after this song?

[Nickrj1]

He sounds like John Denver.
